modification to a heart-based approach to parenting.Instead of relying on rewards, incentives, threats, and
punishment, you’ll learn how to identify heart lessons to teach your child and implement them in practical ways.

The Christian
Parenting Handbook by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, founders of the
National Center for Biblical Parenting, compiles fifty parenting principles
that use heart-based strategies to teach you how to face daily challenges. When
parents focus on the heart, kids learn to ask different questions about life.
Instead of asking, “What’s in it for me?” they learn to ask, “What’s the right thing to do?” You’ll soon see how
a heart-based approach to parenting looks deeper and brings about greater,
lasting change.

The daily interaction you have with your children can impact
them for the rest of their lives. With these fifty heart-based strategies,
you’ll develop your own biblical philosophy of parenting and gain perspective,
greater motivation, and confidence that you’re moving in the right direction.
As you envision a positive future for your children, they’ll experience hope
and direction and you will too. Start applying these principles today!

Colorful cover.
I agree with the authors it is good to use the bible to create a vision of a positive future for our children. The bible teaches about how and what it takes to develop good character.
The book advised parents to teach kids not to be self-centered, and to make right choices using the bible as a guide.
Parents are advised not to be adversarial or wrestle, but reason and teach by example.
parenting is a daily activity that must be positive.
I think every Christian parent need one or more contemporary handbook, and I recommend this book.
